American and E,o,fsh H,,,u,

The English people are more impressed
by the magnificent riding at the Wild
West Show than they are 10y any other
feature Of the exhibition. The sporting
papers devote great deal Of space To a
study of the American school of caues-
trianism. Nearly all of the professional
critics agree that the American stvIe of
sitting firmly in the saddle, rs if the
rider were n part of the horse. instead of
rising in the English way, is greatly to
be preferred. Recently an old army
officer had long card in the Times
showing the superior points Of the cow
boy style of riding, and calling upon the
English horsemen To study that style Of
riding To learn grace, security. and how
best 10 save the strength Of the horse. The
style Of riding taught in the fashionable
English riding -schoois is the reverse of
graceful. The stirrIps Of the rider are
drawn ups short that the riders knees
are brought up nearly 10 his face. This
shortening Of the stirrups curls the rider
forward so, that he looks rs il laborino
under an exaggerated curvature Of the
spine. Take this ungracefu- looking
position and then give the figure occupy
ing it, regular jumping jack motion.
tx inches up aud down ut every step If
the horse, and you have q correct idea Of
the grace and poetry Of motion taught in
the English riding schools. The rising
in the saddle may bc easy, and may do
for the parks and short country rides.
but can not be compared for moment
with the Western border style Of sitting
firmly in the saddle holding on 10y the
knees, so that the rider moves only as if
ne were a part Of the horse. - 1ArQonaut.

How Women Lose Their

women, especially those of the upper

iilcr middle agc-sometimcs carlicr-a
considerable amount of their height. not
'y stopping, as men do, but by actual
'oIlapsc, sinking down-mainly to be
attributed to the pcrishing of the
MUSCLES that support the frame in conse-
lucnce of the labitual and constant
pressure of stays and dependence upon
hraftllicial support by them afforded.
Every girl who wears stays that press
lpon these muscles and restrict the free
development of the iibrcs that form them.

'acitaling them from so doing-may feel

woman. Failure Of health among
women when the vigor of youth passes
away is but too patent and but too com
monty caused by this practice. Most
women, from long custom of wearing
'hc'c stays, arc really unaware how much
hey are hampcrcd and restricted. A
IrI of 20, intended by nature to be one
'l her finest specimens, gravcly assures
one that her stays are not tight, being
\actiy the size of those she was first put
nto not perceiving her condemnation in

Her stays are not too tight, because the
